The White House posted several images of President Obama and staffers planning and reviewing updates from the military raid that ended in the death of Osama bin Laden.
The White House Flickr account has been used extensively during the Obama administration, showing us candid and behind-the-scenes images from the First Family’s daily lives as well as President Obama’s diplomatic work. In fact, the administration’s overall use of social media has been impressive.
However, few pics from the account will ever get the attention garnered by this historic string of photos. These images show the palpable tension in the Situation Room the night of bin Laden’s death.
UPDATE: Flickr tells us the world’s response to these pictures is “skyrocketing … some [have] over 600,000 views already.” And some of these images are also seeing as many as 13,000 views per minute.
In these photos, we see Obama and other high-ranking U.S. government and security officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in one of a series of meetings. In these talks, the President and advisors planned and saw executed a successful raid on the bin Laden compound, a high-walled mansion in the northern Pakistani town of Abbottabad.

Shhhhh!!! The media gets all testy and defensive whenever you ask Obama to prove anything he says. I mean you should just take his word for it.
They have to release photos of dead Bin Laden.
The sooner, the better for them.
The longer they wait the more they look like the incompetent boobs they are.
Just look at them. What a reassuring picture. There’s the leader of the free world in the jacket he wore to the golf course. There’s the sos covering her mouth as tho she is stifling a yawn.
A staged picture signifying nothing at all.
Indeed. It’s racist to ask for any proof about Oba... I mean... Osama.
I guess sis didn’t get a proper Muslim burial.
Whatever, she was just a woman...
/s
What has been more expensive—the raid on Pakistan or the PR blitz by the White House?
“Hey Barry, hurry up and get off the golf course, you’re gonna miss the photo op. Hill’s already warming up your seat!”
The blank computer screens are very telling — as if they all sat down and opened their computers just to have them sitting their as props. LOL.
Photographic evidence of Bin Laden’s corpse will be a photoshoped imiage of some rube. It’ll be cooked up Just like Zero’s “long form Birth Certificate”.
LOL
Believe nothing from this administration.
The only man who looks presidential is the man center in the suit.
Tell me the little jerk looking small and inconsequential in the corner isn’t the POTUS, but the pizza delivery boy who was invited to stay after making his delivery.
So tell me.........do they all look anxiety ridden.........
LOLOL..........oh the lies they keep coming.
Last night I heard a newsreader say there were 23 children in the OBL compound.
That the ‘wife’ was not used as a shield.
That the helicopter may have come under fire.
Actually I heard McCaffrey say that the one helicopter had been shot down. That was the very first morning before everyone got their stories straight.
Is it any wonder no one believes anything from these jackasses.
Also read that O cancelled the Saturday attack. I guess he didn’t want to miss the WHCD.
LOL! Yes, the photo clearly shows his anger at being pulled off the XBOX for a whole 10 minutes to do some "work or something..."
You’ve made a good read on this picture, I think. I had the same reaction - what a diminutive peon we have as president.
They should have released the burial at sea and at least 1 pic of the deceased yesterday. Lets all get closure and move on.
